The common use lately Of Mrs. Ueve.

likely to lead to several law suits against
the firms putting them out. The originals
OF the pictures common In the market
were copyrighted by two Washington pho.

reaped was from the local sale OF the cards.
Gradually, however, an out demandsprang

commenced to pour In from all parts Of
Europe for them.
